Is it vegan? Is it vegetarian? I heard that it contains taurine, so possible it can be given to
vegan cats as a supplement, don't you think?

TIA, Jupiter

Yes, some brands are vegan. Here's some information

You need to be very, very careful if you try and feed your cat a vegan diet. Don't just feed it
nutritional yeast because 'you heard it contains taurine.' That would be very irresponsible and can
lead to serious health problems for your cat. Learn more here: vegepet.comvegepet.comOpen ↗

Very sound advice.

I look at it this way - if you can't stand to feel your pets meat, don't own carnivors.
There's plenty of herbivore pets out there whose lives won't be endangered by you imposing
your values on them.

wouldn't cats just go out and eat birds or whatever when you're not looking anyway? we've had
quite a few cats move in with us over the years, they all used to fetch bits of dead things in
from the garden.

Yup. Get a rabbit instead and then you can feed it "Lettuce with a Gladsome Mind."

(That's the veg/Vegan hymn! :o))

Most likely. That's why we make sure ours are well fed before they're allowed to leave the house.

well-fed has nothing to do with it. domesticated cats still have the hunter/killer instinct in them
and will still go after birds and other little things no matter what if given the chance.

We've found with our cats that they're quite content to chase bugs so long as they're well fed. On
the (rare) occasions that we've let them out without feeding them, they usually go after
something... bigger.

So long as they're not hungry, and we play games with them that utilise their more native
instincts, they don't hunt. Of course bells (and a beeping collar for the more capable of the 2)
don't go astray.

Of course your experiences may be different.

yeah, it's different for each pet. my pekingese (RIP) always loved bringing
dead birds in the house. :-)

heh, gotta share this though. a friend of mine sent me this recently. I got one hell of a laugh out
of it, especially over how true it is. :-)
